petition was submitted by Cian Ciaran having collected a total of 10,692
signatures.
Text of Petition:
We, the undersigned, call
on the Welsh Government to invoke the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 in respect
of uncertainties, and to ensure that a full Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) is carried out before any further sediment from Hinkley Point nuclear
power station can be dumped at Cardiff Grounds.
Don't allow the Welsh
government to break their own law!
Additional Information
The EIA must provide
Detailed baseline data on
the behaviour and fate of material dumped at Cardiff Grounds;
Full radiological analysis
including detection of alpha-emitting particles;
A detailed and up-to-date
assessment of potential radiological impacts on the population of south Wales;
Containing nuclear
pollutants on land rather than dispersing them at sea;
Respecting international
agreements on marine dumping;
Protecting the Severn
Estuary.
We also call on the Senedd
to ensure that any EIA is NOT scoped by pro-nuclear interests.
